When Middle Eastern mystique, contemporary lines and rich details collide – prepare to be spellbound. Filipino fashion – Couture by Bandoix Flores

Oh to dream of innocence … Of fairy frills, the playful whisper of silk, and the smell of charming pastels. Oh to go back to sweet and glorious insouciance! Filipino fashion

From the terno to the barong, to ethnic accoutrements of bamboo and capiz, to tribal beads and other native nuances, spring distinctively strong silhouettes and stylish forms executed in rich jusi piña, abaca and indigenous materials. It’s Moda Filipiniana reincarnated with a distinctively contemporary attitude. #illustradomagazine #taasnofilipino

Not to be outshone by the brilliant season’s lights are these dazzlingly definitive Filipino pieces from the country’s designers with a penchant for our rich and unique sartorial heritage.
